US Patent:

48149470, Mar 21, 1989

Filed:

Feb 17, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/157426

Inventors:

Charles E. Gunter - Jupiter FL

Assignee:

North American Philips Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

H01G 900

US Classification:

361540

Abstract:

A surface mounted device (SMD) having leads selectively solderable so that those portions of the leads extending down along the sides of the device body are not solderable. Thus, during attachment to a mother board by wave soldering, solder does not collect in the spaces between the leads and the device body, and both solder joint reliability and strength are improved.

Appl. No.:

6/810445

Inventors:

Charles E. Gunter - Jupiter FL

Assignee:

North American Philips Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

H01G 905
H01G 906

US Classification:

361433

Abstract:

A fail-safe lead configuration for surface mountable chip-like polar electrical components wherein the lead of a first polarity is singulated and the lead of the second polarity is bifurcated, having the branches spaced a part such that a rotation of the device in its intended mounting location, thus reversing its polarity, or a displacement from its intended, position will result in an open circuit rather than a short circuit or other circuit failure.
